"We are crossing through life on the train of death seeing
how progress is putting an end to people."
Facundo Cabral
I found a box of knives that can slice through all the denialistic faux-humanism that believes moral cowardice is a form of positivity. The knives asked, "What is the evolutionary advantage of malicious intent?" The knives took on the form of sentient beings with moral culpability and demanded an answer to the question, "Why would evolution give us something as useless as malice?"
If 2000000000000000 years isn't enough time to "evolve" "out" of hating each other and blowing each other's brains out in a suicidal power struggle against our own species, and if it's not fantastically absurd to believe that a bunch of transhumanists who tell you you're a burden on the planet are going to solve the problem with a secular religion that tells you YOU'RE BAD, AND YOU SHOULD BE FRIGHTENED (a theme that runs through humanity like an unequivocal sewage line for a reason),
Is it because we're ACTUALLY BAD (as in, sinful), and should be frightened (of the consequences of sin)?
Why do we execute bears extrajudicially when they maul someone to death? Why do we not put them on trial? Is it because it's obvious the animal has no intent? No sin? Is it because it's obvious there's nothing to penalize in a creature that is obviously without sin?
Why is there no penal system among the animals? Haven't they evolved into the intelligence necessary to punish crimes they're not "smart" enough to commit? Why are there still apes? Why did they fail to take the hint?
How do you "evolve out" of something you should never have evolved into in the first place, since suicidal, malicious hatred of your own species is evolutionarily useless and can't be explained away by mere intelligence, but makes perfect sense once you stop prancing around the idea and just cop to the fact that SIN IS REAL, and WE ALL NEED TO BE FORGIVEN for literally no other reason than being alive.
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”
Romans 3:23
The idea that society and humanity are progressing on an ever-upward trajectory of improvement is the spiritual equivalent of taking a ski lift to the edge of a ravine. After a peaceful (or tumultuous) ride through a great (or terrible) view, the lift suddenly drops you off, and then you fall to your death. What do you think happens after that? Are you willing to cast your lot in with the moral cowards who try to intimidate you into staying on the ski lift, because misery loves company? Is it worth the risk, to subject the fate of your soul to a jury of your inferiors?
Are you sure?
The world isn't 200 billion years old.
We didn't evolve into the knowledge of right and wrong.
Sin is the missing link.
